Dreams Altered, New Dreams Met

Posted on: March 26, 2023 | Posted by: Kelley Lynn

Well, you all know by now that ever since I can remember, I’ve wanted to be onstage, or maybe even part of a television series of some kind, making people laugh and think and doing my thing in the world of comedy and acting. I did community theater shows my whole childhood, then moved to […]

What Grows On

Posted on: March 25, 2023 | Posted by: Lisa Begin-Kruysman

My last two posts have focused on the inner workings and transformation of house, home and human in the wake of profound loss. It was so gratifying to see my post, “Staying in Place”, written earlier this month recently featured on the Facebook Page of Soaring Spirits, International, and to see it appreciated by those […]

Reprise (updated)

Posted on: March 23, 2023 | Posted by: Gary Ravitz

I am on the road all week. In my absence I have decided to reprint my initial contribution to this blog with a few edits. It concerns a tough time in my life. Most important, my sweet wife was recently deceased. Additionally, these were scary and uncertain days because of the pandemic.  If you have […]

Sunset at Clearwater

Posted on: March 19, 2023 | Posted by: Kelley Lynn

So, as you are all probably tired of me saying and tired of reading about, I was unable to attend Camp Widow Tampa and do my presentation this year, which is/was this weekend. Right about now, as I write this, campers are gathering inside the Marriott Hotel for the Farewell Breakfast Brunch – taking some […]

Music to My Ears

Posted on: March 16, 2023 | Posted by: Gary Ravitz

I am not a fan of country music. However, bluegrass music is a guilty pleasure. I admire the technical skill required to play as fast and as clean as its finest practitioners. I like the twangy two, three or four-part harmonies, collectively referred to as high lonesome harmony. The improvisational character of bluegrass reminds me […]

My friend Faye

Posted on: March 12, 2023 | Posted by: Kelley Lynn

So yesterday I found out that a woman who was/is part of the Soaring Spirits widowed community, has died. Her name is Faye Beck Fleming, and I found out when another friend in the widowed community, Alison, private messaged me and told me. At the time, I was in my car driving home from the […]

Hiking With Some Friends Across Desert Mountains

Posted on: March 9, 2023 | Posted by: Gary Ravitz

It’s sunny and clear, but still cool on this late winter morning when Linda, Ross, and I arrive at the trailhead parking lot in Ross’ car.  Lola and I were the first to arrive at Ross and Janet’s house; Bob and Linda arrive a few minutes later. While Bob and Janet remain behind for health […]

Exercise as Self Care

Posted on: March 6, 2023 | Posted by: Emily Vielhauer

Why is it so hard to prioritize ourselves and our health? Before Tony passed, I had started a workout routine that I enjoyed. It was the first time since having kids that I had started one and was sticking to it. The day he passed was the 79th day in a row that I had […]

Snow Anxiety

Posted on: February 26, 2023 | Posted by: Kelley Lynn

This is going to be short and sweet this week, because our life lately consists of prepping for the latest round of snow, after just getting pelted with the LAST round of snow before that one. And so on and so on until the end of time. Or, hopefully, another 3 weeks or so, when […]

Trains of Thought

Posted on: February 25, 2023 | Posted by: Lisa Begin-Kruysman

One of the most significant milestones for those who find themselves widowed is dealing with the items that belonged to your spouse, or significant other. Some people handle that task soon after the death of their partner, others wait for months, if not years, before they can bring themselves to do it.  Closets. Armoires. Desks. […]

Now What?

Posted on: February 23, 2023 | Posted by: Gary Ravitz

At last, we are in Tucson. Now what? Well, I do not have a specific agenda for the next two months, other than my fondest wish not to shovel so much as one speck of fallen snow.  So far, so good. However, it’s been unseasonably cold, or so I’m told, far below the typical seasonal […]

My Village

Posted on: February 20, 2023 | Posted by: Emily Vielhauer

Yesterday I flew home from a five-day trip to Florida without the kids. Looking back on it, I realize how fortunate I am to have a support system that allowed me to go. My in-laws signed on early to the idea of keeping the boys for the entirety of my trip. Normally when I leave […]
